MARCEL 15. 1907.
EEV. FATHER MAETLN 0. S. -B.
Late Superintendent of the
Farm School, Standing Rock,
writes from Pierre, S. 1).
PIERRE, S. DAK. FEB. 7, 1907.
Rev. Dear Father Jerome:
Although a
little late I come — as 1 have promised
you before, to thank you for your kind
.words of farewell you addressed to
me through your worthy Paper, the
Eyaupaha, in its November number.
I appreciate very much , the good
things you said in regard to my work
among the Sioux Indians of the. Standing
Rock .Reservation during the last 22
years, But, if any success, attended
my labors, I must share the merits of
it with my faithful co-laborers, the
priests and , sisters and other good
people, who faithfully from the very
beginning have borne with me the
heat and the burden, of the day, and who
have patiently persevered with me un-
der the most difficult hardships and
discouraging trials. To them, goes out
in tne first place the gratitude and sym-
pathy of my heart for ever. Then I
must not feu-get those zealous mission-
aries, who had prepared the way before
me. Amongst them, you, Dear Father
Jerome, and your faitnfui corn-pan i on <
Brother Giles, are certainly entitled
to a great deal of credit for the mis-
sionary and educational work done in
the Standing Rock country in early
days — as you erected tne first church,
a brick building at that, no easy task
in those Pioneer days — at Fort Yates
or Standiug Rack Agency- 1 -- not to for-
get the other pious missionaries, priests
and brothers from St. Meiurad, who
have since gone to their reward, but
will continue to be intercessors for
the poor people to whom they mini-
stered during the best portion of their
lives. May the merciful Eorcl be their
abundant reward! Some of their names
are stiii household words in many
good christian Indian families, and tne
records of the Mission show t,o law ma-
ny they have opened the gate of heaven
by holy baptism and the other Sacra-
ments of the church, which. God's holy
Angels certainly did not faii to enter for
their benefit and to their credit in the
Book of life. They were men. who
did their work unnoticed by the world,
mostly aiso unseen by the eyes of men,
but the more the lights thereof will
snine in heaven, and even, on earth it
is not forgotten. I had the picture
of some of those early missionaries in
my room, and more than once, to my
great surprise,., would men of the world,
of whom I never expected it. and who
in general did not seem to pay much
attention to religion, point to this or
that picture, and say: "Father, here is
a man, that was not known to the
outside world, was not a. great lecturer
or preacher, did not .perform any fa-
mous deeds to catch the eyes of men,
but went simply to and fro among
these poor Indians teaching and bap-
tizing, don't you think he was a greater
man and has done more good for God's
Cnurcti and ins Kingdom tii.au many
who have a name in history'''' Ana
I had to say: 'A'es and Amen." May
their memory live long in the hearts oi
the Indians; wno still remember their
sacrificial life amongst theiii. I also
must and will not forget' the helping
hand extended to ine from tne begin
ning m the position which I held in
connection with the "Dear Old harm
School" by many employed. in the Gov-
ernment Service and other good friends.
To them also I. owe a just tribute of
thanks. May He, Wno readily rewards
a cup of water given to the way. side
beggar, abundantly repay their kind
services to me.
You rightly remark, that my efforts'
were, not always fculy appreciated by
some of the Standing Ruck people.
To my great sorrow i must testify to
the truth of these words, but I nope that
many will have their eyes opened by,
this time, and wili try to profit by
their past mistakes and wrong judg-
ments. T hope m particular that those
whites, (Mixed- bloods) and b'uii-blood
Indians whose grievance and complaints'
it was at tunes, that there v. as too
mucn religion and prayer m my school,
will learn differently by and by if not,
all at once, wnmu can hardly be ex-
pected, when poor reasoning and per-
haps also some prejudice prevails.
Suffice it to say, that f conducted
in tins regard the school as much as
possible on strictly Governmental hues
as Inspectors would give me credit for
it more than once. I had not more
prayers or religious practices in the
school than there should be in any good
Catholic Indian family. All denomina-
tions, which have anything of religion
left m their profession, must concede,
that if we do not train, tiie children reh-.
giously in their young and tender years
we might just as well tear down our
churches and be don* with it for all
future. Persons who will say children
should be allowed to grow up without
religion, only to choose what or how
much they want of it, when they are
grown up, have not the least idea of
j what religion is or of wiiat it should
i signify in a man's life. Show me a
I man who claims to be educated and has
j perhaps even in his own youth received
| religious training, wno will say there
j was too much religion taught and piay.
i'ng done here and Caere, and you will
| not be mistaken to take him to be of
I that sort, who on account of their
lives must wish of necessity, that
there was no God, no religion, no
prayer, no responsibility nor accounta-
bility to a Higher Being. The false
reasonings of the head are in this case
prompted by the moral corruption of
the heart. His conclusion and argu-
ment may be used fearlessly and with-
out mistake, wherever we meet with
such assertions} at least my own judg-
ment never proved erroneous in such
cases and with such persons. Even a
great many sensible Non-Catholics will
admit, that not to mucn religion can
be taught in Indian Schools. Why are
of late special appeals made to the
churches on the part of certain societies
and conferences for more active reli-
gious woi'K among the Indians—would
that not mean it should be done prin-
cipally among the children and young
people— the hope of the future? Why
has even the Government of late years
made rather generous allowance for re-
ligious instruction in Indian Govern-
ment Schools? When I left Standing
Rock I remarked that the people I left
behind, might cianior yet for more
prayer and religious instruction. I do
not know, whether my prophecy will
be fulfilled or not, but strange to say.
tne first Indian I met since I left the
reservation, complained to me bitterly
that his child whom he had in a near
by non-reservation school did not re-
ceive any religious instruction and could
go to church very seldom. He very earn-
estly requested me, that I should see
the Superintendent and tne parish priest
of tne place about it. Now tms man
was not geographically so well Situated
as tne .'standing Rock Catholic Indians
were all along, that hecoulasend his
child conveniently to a school, w here re-
ligious instruction and practice were
assured, therefore tie did the next best
thing and sent his cniid to a non-reser-
vation school on tne promise of the
agents sent out by that school, that tne
child would have a chance to be proper-
ly instructed and go to cuurch and tiie
toacraments regularly., although tins
promise was evidently poorly Kept or at
ieast not carried out according to his
wishes and expectations. May our
people take a lesson from such cases.
There would evidently not be too much
praying and religion for this one par-
ticular Indian in any of the schools.
It was very strange and painful to me
to hear at times such complaints about
too much praying etc. from Catholic
families that wanted and pretended to
be leading christians among their peo-
ple, and made a great many demands on
the priest in the hue of unnecessary sick
cails and other troublesome requests,
that w T ere, often uncalled for, as to assist
at funerals, where no distance or incle-
mency of weather or season would be
taken as excuse by these people in favor
of the oriest. They seemed in such cases
to understand alright, that religion
should form the principal part in their
lives, but had not the good seise to un-
derstand, that it should also be upper-
most in the minds and hearts of tne,;.
children at all times, if the services o.1;
the priest should do thern any good in
their after years and especially at the
hour of death.
Every body engaged in the Indian
worn pretends to be helping to make
a. good citizen of the Indian, but if we
do not form his conscience rightly in his
young years, 'he will never be a good
citizen. Conscience is the tr.» e moral
sense of right or wrong or the correct
conviction of right and duty. The right
land of conscience is a very necessary
tiling for an Indian.
Because he lias no consciece therefore
the Indian, like other peopie, does Often
not try to make an honest living, but is
always intent on beating or overreach-
ing somebody, fanes to gambling, drink-
ing, thieving, divorce, and. ail those bad
things and excesses, that persons are apt
to indulge in, that have no sense of duty.
And here it is exactly, where the work
of religion comes in. Let religion do its
part unhampered, and by audi by the
Indian's conscience and sense of duty
wih be better cultivated. Lai us hea.r .
what Archbishop Ireland has to say on
this point. in ''his great oration on
Conscience — The mainstay of Democra-
cy, delivered on May 13. 1807 before the
Chamber of Commerce i.f the city of
Cleveland, Ohio, the great St. Paul
Prelate sard: "Conscience is the voice
of the Mighty God speaking to tne
soul And religion it is that binds
the soul to God, bringing down to the
soul the sense of the love and the
power of God and lifting up the soul
into the embrace of God- A people
without religion is a people without
God, a people without God is a peopie
without conscience, and a peopie vvitii-
ou t conscience is a peopie incapable of
the sacrifices that sincere and
earnest .. patriotism imposes. Even
pagan Rome understood that country
and religion stand or fall together. Its
battle-cry was for altars and hearth-
stones. 7 ' Profoundly true are the words
of the Hebrew prophet: ''The nation
and kingdom that wili not serve Tnee
shall perish. .,-. . . Our hopes for America
rise from our trust in the religious
convictions of her people. The enemies
of God and of religion are the worst
enemies of the country; be there no
place for them in America."
As a future citizen the Indian will be
a part of' our people, and should there-
fore come to us as the friend, not the,
enemy of our country, that is as a reli-
gious, God serving and God-fearing be-
ing.
If we want the Indian to be a good
citizen, we want him also to be a patriot
MARCEL 15. 1907.
— a lover of this country— in the truest
sense of the word. According to the
words quoted above he cannot be that
very well without religion, which he
should be allowed not only to pick up
here and there piece meal, in discon-
nected fragments, but in which he
should be systematically trained from
his youth as he is in any other thing
which he is expected to know and learn.
Why should we deny and refuse reli-
gion the most important factor in a
man's life, what we readily grant every
other branch, trade or profession man
wants to learn. We readily concede and
consent, that if a child is to acquire
proficiency in this or that knowledge,
he has to be drilled and trained in it
theoretically and practically, and this
not only once or at intervals, but for a
long time. If the U. S. Government
wants the Indian boys and girls to be-
come industrious, adept and proficient
in farming and housekeeping and other
pursuits of civilized life, thinking this
to be a very good thing for them for
their future selfsupport, comfort and
right mode of living, do in this case
the authorities wait tiil some nice morn-
ing the Indian boy sees fit to walk out to
the barn or field to place himself at the
disposal of the Industrial Teacher, or
the young dusky maiden would make
up her tender mind to profit at liberty
and according to choice by the instruc-
tion of the Cook or Matron— no— there
is no waiting, these things are not left
to the choice or good pleasure of the
pupil, he has to put his shoulder to the
wheel and learn to work, he has to learn
things by doing them at once. Nobody
of sound mind would dispute for a mo-
ment the correctness of this proceeding.
■ But, should then the chief concern of
man. his religion, be the only thing
about which we should feel so delicate
and timid and distant as it were, to
bring it squarely and directly — before
the mind and heart of the young In-
dians, who are more in need of its bless-
ings, benefits and helps than of any-
thing else. It is a great mistake to
feel chat way about this most impor-
tant matter, and the more so to act
upon this erroneous supposition. May
the Indian parents in the Sioux coun-
try be more and more penetrated by
the true spirit of the Catholic religion,
and have a true lively and active faith,
that will make them see, that true re-
ligion is something more than only
meeting together and talking muci;,
but that it is a living thing, t :at should j
take a firm hold? on their daily lives to '
bring them nearer to their God by
prayer, Holy Mass and the sacraments
of the church and make them better
men and women in their families, in the
church and in their dealings with
others; then they will understand that |
it is the most precious gift also for their
children to have, that it never can be
imparted too soon or too early to them
in their young years, and that they
can never have too much or even
enough of it.
Now, Dear Father Jerome, my letter
has become much longer than I in-
tended to make it, but it gave ine a
chance to talk through you also to* the
readers of your valuable paper, and give
some insructions and explanations to
people with whom I was so long and
whose vvelfare is. still near to my heart.
Tours very sincerely in Christ
Fe. Martin, O. S. 1!.
I shake hands with you and Brother
Giles, and all the Kev. Missionaries in
the Sioux country, and with the mem-
bers of St. Joseph's and St. Mary's So-
cieties wishing them God's blessing,
health and prosperity.
